Wanli Xinming

Chapter 18
The next day, Zhu Yijun attended the morning lecture as usual; after lunch, he officially began to accompany Empress Dowager Li and Supervisor Si Li to read the memorial.Empress Dowager Li took some memorials and asked Zhu Yijun how to deal with it. In addition to making some common-sense mistakes, Zhu Yijun was a little bit better than Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Hong and others, especially the selfishness of foreign ministers. Empress Dowager Li greatly In addition to being amazed, he was more assured of the emperor's pro-government.

In the original time and space, Empress Dowager Li had a clear understanding of Wanli's inferiority, and even thought of letting the emperor be in charge after the age of 30.When Wanli was in Wanli, because he was drunk and played with a young eunuch and cut his hair with a sword, Feng Bao told Queen Mother Li, who even threatened to abolish Wanli and let King Lu ascend the throne. Emperor Wanli knelt down and begged for mercy. cool down.

Some historians of later generations believe that the subsequent counter-offensive of the former Emperor Wanli of Time and Space has a great relationship with the mad suppression of Li, Feng and Zhang by virtue of etiquette during his childhood and youth. Zhu Yijun agreed.

In this time and space, Zhu Yijun used Empress Dowager Li's superstition to coax Empress Dowager Li.In less than a month, she used her mature mind and the means of later generations to defeat the political confidence of Empress Dowager Li, who was just involved in major affairs. It can be said that Empress Dowager Li at this time has completely given up the idea of ​​comparing with Zhu Yijun in political affairs. Leaps were made.

During the interval between reading the chapters, Zhu Yijun also practiced calligraphy, writing big characters, or exercising as he used to.Historically, Emperor Wanli's words were very well written. Zhang Juzheng once praised the little emperor's words in the sixth year of Longqing, "researching the subtleties, ignoring the subtleties, painting every bit, and applying the ancients as the law." After becoming an adult, it became even more powerful. , the people of the late Ming Dynasty even commented on the word "gradually becoming deified."

When Zhu Yijun was writing, Empress Dowager Li stood by and watched.Seeing that Zhu Yijun first wrote a pair of "You make a boat", only then did he know that he was going to give Zhang Juzheng the characters.After thinking about it again, Fang realized that the emperor was preparing for public opinion for the day after tomorrow, and he secretly admired it.

Seeing that he wrote the big characters "Bi Yu one person, keep the destiny forever", he wrote these two large characters several times and put them on the big case. He turned his head and asked, "Mother, which of these characters do I have? better?"

Empress Dowager Li said: "I think it's better to "make a boat", and the other one will be given to Mr. Zhang after he makes contributions." Zhu Yijun deeply agrees.I chose the best one among several paintings, with the title: "The Imperial Brush in the First Year of Wanli".When it was time to use the seal, I was embarrassed to find that I had no private seal except for the 24 seals passed down from my family.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, made seventeen seals with different purposes such as "the treasure of the emperor's dedication to heaven" and "the treasure of the emperor's relatives". Emperor Jiajing made seven seals. It was used until the end of the Ming Dynasty, so later generations of TV dramas took a jade seal and covered it indiscriminately, making the Fang family laugh.

Among them, the "Treasure of Guang Yun" is used to reward the ministers, but it is used to make official letters and edicts, and it would be laughable and generous to cover it here.Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "It's time to carve some private seals for the emperor, but what should we do today?"

Zhu Yijun had a clever idea and said, "How about the seal of the emperor's mother? Let Mr. Zhang and the foreign court know that our mother and son are one, and it will become a good story in the future."

After listening to it, Empress Dowager Li thought it made sense, so she took out a personal seal from her purse.But it was Zhu Yijun who gave birth to Zhu Yijun and helped Zhu Zaiyu to stabilize the position of the prince. Zhu Zaiyu gave her a happy gift. It was originally a private seal used by Zhu Zaiyu, only one inch square, with a dotted arc in the upper left corner, and the letter was written. The word "clear reward" unexpectedly corresponds to this situation.

After the seal was sealed, Zhu Yijun asked an inner supervisor to hold it in his hands and sent it to Zhang Juzheng in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhang Juzheng received the emperor's book from the cabinet, but he didn't know the seal and didn't take it seriously.It just feels more and more that Zhu Yijun is an experienced man and is no weaker than Feng Bao.Xie Ran picked up the pen, drafted Xie Enshu, and immediately arranged for the Ministry of Rites to request a decree for the ritual system of the platform.

On the morning of the 25th, Zhang Juzheng went to Xie Enshu, and at the same time, the memorial of the Ministry of Rites on the determination of the ritual system of platform calling was drafted by Lu Tiaoyang, and sent to the Supervisor of Rites in an urgent manner.Zhang Hong, the supervisor of ceremonies, and others immediately posted a yellow card and rushed it to the Qianqing Palace.

With the approval of Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun made the first red mark in his life with a red pen: "Yes, let the Ministry of Rites handle it."

On February 26, the first year of Wanli, in the warm sun at the beginning of winter, the emperor watched the court from the Huangji Hall.Zhang Juzheng and other courtiers were arranged according to their ranks.Lu Shusheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the class and said: "According to the emperor's will, today the platform summons Zhang Juzheng, the Grand Master of the Jianji Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Taishi Taishi. The ceremony is ready, and I respectfully invite the sage."

The emperor replied, "Yes, every time you make an announcement."

Zhang Hong, the head of the Sili Supervisor, took out the prepared edict and declared: "Fengtian transports the goods, and the edict said: Longu sages, all Yu Yitang. Longyun Lei Cong, fish and water are in harmony, so they can proclaim the truth.

In the world of Xiping, the texts of poetry and books can be tested.Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, this way has been submerged.However, Yingyi side seats, Zhongxian meets Lane.Xuan Shi called to ask, Bo Liang and song.Yanying's performance was presented to the imperial court, and the discussion of Chongzheng continued, and it was written down in the annals of history, and it was a beautiful talk.

This dynasty started from the second ancestor, and the temple was declared to be the successor.The palace of the law is the palace, Yan sees the wrong time; the cabinet platform, fortunately, is endless.At the age of young Chong, I can bear the responsibility of the great lineage, dare to disrespect the ancestors of heaven and law, and be vigilant to the diligent people?

Today, there is Zhang Juzheng, a senior scholar in Jianji Palace, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Crown Prince and the Master, who is knowledgeable about the changes of the times and has the courage to serve.Every time I bow to the beginning of the government, it is not impossible to say that I am not able to help people.Assisting the three dynasties, the emperor took care of his life; he respectfully fulfilled his duties, cultivated the knowledge of the saints, and exercised restraint.Therefore, I specially summoned Qing to inquire about politics on the platform, thinking it was a slogan.Chinja! "

Zhang Juzheng went to work to pick up the letter.Kneeling down, he said: "The Lord will call you on the platform, and it will be a grand ceremony. This minister has received the grace of God, and I am very grateful. If I can't praise Shengming, I am especially ashamed."

The emperor replied: "Qing is loyal and diligent, praises hard work, and is worthy of it."

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Lord, for the grace and encouragement of God. However, when I asked about the government, Xiaozong has not been seen in my court since then. When all the officials heard about it, they were all delighted and celebrated. "

The emperor replied: "I already know what your minister means, and I should report it to the ancestors and the emperor."

Zhang Juzheng kowtowed and said, "The Lord, the Holy One, is going to see you tomorrow, and this minister is very happy to be here!"

So the compliment officer praised: "Follow the First Hall, the Hongxiao Hall, and the Shenxiao Hall, the leader of all officials!"

This large section of speech was prepared in advance by the Ministry of Rites, the establishment of the platform etiquette system, the Hanlin Academy system, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy for several days, including the dialogue between Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng, all performed according to the script.Otherwise, the emperor and his courtiers would speak in such classical Chinese, but they were exhausted and exhausted.

In the Ming Dynasty, the office documents between the emperor and his courtiers were half-written and half-baked. This was only the case during grand ceremonies.

The officials and the emperor arrived at the palaces where the ancestors worshiped, such as the Fengxian Hall. Zhu Yijun, according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, saluted the temple and told the temple Ruyi, and the platform called for the right to enter the next stage.

Behind the Jianji Hall, there is the treasure cloud dragon step stone of the town palace. It was made of a whole piece of stone weighing 300 tons taken from Dashiwo in Fangshan, Beijing when Ming Chengzu built the Forbidden City. It is the largest stone in the Forbidden City. A small marvel of ancient engineering.

There are nine high-relief dragons on the Yunlong Step Stone, which are divided into three groups.Scattered on the whole piece of mugwort bluestone that is five feet three feet long, ten feet wide and six feet five inches thick.The bottom of the bluestone is the sea cliff.

The Yunlong Step Stone is the emperor's royal road, and there are several steps in different directions on both sides.On a slope nearly 20 meters long, there are three hundred-foot-long white marble railings surrounding the imperial road, dividing the cloud platform behind the entire hall into three terraced floors. The pipes are connected to spit water for Qianlong, and the whole back of the hall is magnificent and magnificent.

The Yunlong Step Stone is the middle line between the outer court and the inner court, and it is also the end of the imperial road.At the top of the Yunlong Step stone, at the back door of Jianji Hall, there is a Yuntai Gate, which isolates the inside and outside.On both sides of Yuntai Gate, Jianji Hall has two small side doors leading to two small platforms only a few feet square. The stone steps on both sides are connected, and the east platform is the location of this call.

At this time, the small platform has been surrounded by yellow curtains to prevent the cold wind.Among them, a throne has been set, and there is a rogue on it.In front of the throne, there is one chair and one long, and there are court utensils such as carpets, three-legged gilt incense burners, and animal head warm cages, so there is no need to list them carefully.

Huangji Hall announced a correct answer. After Zhu Yijun went to the ancestral temple, he went up the stone imperial road from the Yunlong Step, and the guards of honor and others guided him to the small platform on the east side of the Yuntai Gate, and turned to the imperial road to stand.

The celebrant announced the decree: "Zhang Juzheng, the Grand Master of Jianji Hall, the Minister of the Crown Prince Xuan and the Minister of Civil Affairs, has an audience!" Under the balustrade of the cloud platform, three generals of the Han Dynasty with bright armor shouted together first, then ten and one hundred in turn. , the sound shook the whole palace.

At the starting point of the imperial road, Zhang Juzheng stood with a hundred officials.When he heard the decree, Zhang Juzheng held the jade stick, cleaned up his appearance, and said loudly: "My minister Zhang Juzheng leads the decree!"

That is, under the guidance of Wang Xilie, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he walked up the steps along the edge of the imperial road.Before stepping into the platform, Zhang Juzheng knelt down facing the platform on the east side, holding a jade guild in his hand, and said loudly, "My minister Zhang Juzheng has an audience!"

The celebrant announced the decree: "Xuan!"

Zhang Juzheng stood up, cleaned his clothes for the last time, and entered the yellow curtain.At this time, Zhu Yijun was standing in front of the throne, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to look directly at the emperor, bowed his head, and knelt down again.

Zhu Yijun said loudly: "Be flat, give me a seat."

Zhang Juzheng thanked Enbi and stood up.Zhu Yijun turned to sit on the throne and said, "Mr. Zhang, sit down."

Zhang Juzheng thanked him again and sat down on the chair behind the long coffee table. At this time, the etiquette part of the platform call was over, and we got to the main topic.

　Dear readers: It is really tiring to write historical articles, especially imperial articles. For this chapter, Lao Mo has consulted a lot of materials.Sometimes ask yourself, why do you want to suffer?Lao Mo's idea is as follows: It is relatively simple to write the emperor as a big brother next door, and the behavior can be humorous and funny, and the character's flesh and blood will be written in a vigorous pen, but it will lose the strong historical flavor, and it is also in line with the time. The social status quo of the supremacy of imperial power is seriously inconsistent with the psychology of the people of the time.Readers have their own preferences, Lao Mo will not comment, but he still wants to write something different; and writing so many etiquette (Lao Mo is not a history major, there may be mistakes and omissions), just try to restore one The ritual shackles bound by the emperor are not as simple as imagined. He cannot act willfully and arbitrarily. The protagonist has to overcome and break through more than grassroots heroes in the future, and this is also one of the main themes of Lao Mo’s writing this book.All in all, this chapter was written in the middle of the night last night, and it was only written near dawn, especially the second half of the book. Lao Mo was really exhausted by it. How about this chapter tonight?Lao Mo wanted to take a long sleep and raise his spirits.
